Chapter 9: Parting

"I'm leaving."

On this day, the snow was a little heavy, Lan Zijin looked at Nangong City, which was covered with ice and snow, and there was a faint sadness in her heart, she thought of the North Underworld City, which was covered with ice and snow all year round.

After all, the Nangong royal family still gave her dignity, and the soldiers accompanied her, and the prince sent it in person.

"The road is far away, and the concubine should pay attention to her body." Nangong Yu stepped forward and handed over a jade pendant to Lan Zijin. Lan Zijin put the jade pendant in his sleeve pocket, took out a letter from his arms, and said to Nangong Yu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please forward this letter to my father on my behalf." ”

After saying this, Lan Zijin knelt down, kowtowed to Nangong Yu three times, and said slowly: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet, please Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't read it." ”

Lan Zijin is gone.

Looking at her departing team, Nangong Yu's heart tightened, what should be done to save today's situation.

The convoy walked for almost half a month, and finally came to the territory of the Eastern Country.

It was late at night, and Nangong Yu in the Nangong Prince's Mansion opened the letter that Lan Zijin wrote to his father Lan Yi, which read:

Father, my daughter has gone to Dongfang to be a proton, please don't worry about my daughter, my daughter also knows her father's difficulties, so she doesn't complain about you, and she will definitely take good care of herself. I wish my father peace and joy, and the Lan family will be prosperous for a long time.

Nangong Yu put the letter in the envelope, and felt a little comforted in her heart, hoping that she could really take care of herself. Nangong Yu opened the drawer, there was a folding fan in it, looked at the plum blossom picture on the folding fan, and recalled the night he and Lan Zijin were married, he lifted the hijab and saw the world's face.

Just as Nangong Yu's thoughts were flying, Mu Cheng walked in and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the princess made a supper with her own hands and ordered the maids around her to bring it to you." ”

"Let her put it down." After Nangong Yu finished speaking, Mu Cheng motioned for the maid to come in, and the maid put the snack on the table, and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the princess asked the slave maid to ask you, will you go to Fenghuayuan tonight?" ”

After Lan Zijin left, Beiming lived in her other garden, which was called Fenghua Garden, which means that the person who is in the right position of the palace, Fenghua is peerless, and there are thousands of pets.

"This palace has something to deal with today, let Yiyi rest early."

"Yes." When the maid had answered, she withdrew.

After she left, Nangong Yu handed the letter to Mu Cheng, asked him to send someone to the Prime Minister of the Northern Underworld tomorrow, and instructed him to let Xinshi personally hand it over to Prime Minister Lan.

The winter in Nangong Kingdom is very short, the snow outside has melted, and the dripping snow water has slipped from the roof, and the sound seems to be spring rain.

After Bei Ming Yiyi learned from the maid that Nangong Yu would not come, he looked around at the poorly decorated Fenghua Garden, a smug smile spread on his face, and said to the maid: "Tomorrow, pass on my words, Fenghua Garden will be renovated, and during this period, the princess will return to the main garden first and live with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

In the eastern border city, the soldiers of the Nangong State Proton Escort Team are resting. The two guards in front of Lan Zijin's room were also missing. Probably went to drink with his comrades, Lan Zijin thought so, and didn't care, after all, the road was far away, and everyone was very tired.

Lan Zijin took off his outer robe, only a layer of underwear remained, walked to the makeup, took off the hairpin, tied the bun, spread out the long black hair, combed it gently, combed it well, put the wooden comb back in front of the mirror, and took out the jade pendant from Nangong Yu from his arms, the jade pendant was carved with a coiled dragon, and a small word "reputation" was engraved in the lower right corner.

Nangong Yu, knowing that I am about to leave, why did you give me this thing? Could it be that you want me to remind myself of the identity of the proton from time to time?

You don't know, this trip is about to leave, life is different, and the concubine has no future at all.

Is it going to be like this for a long time, or how?

Lan Zijin stroked it a few times, tied the jade pendant around his waist, and lay down on the bed after extinguishing the light.

After lying down for a long time, drowsiness hit, and she was just about to fall asleep, when Lan Zijin heard the door being gently pushed open, she knew that someone was coming! The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her bed, and she could clearly hear the sound of the knife being drawn, but at this time she was unarmed, and she was no match for these people at all. Relying on his light skills, he violently lifted the quilt and threw it to the bedside, and escaped through the window. The black-clothed man at the head said: "Chase!" ”

The winter night in the Eastern Kingdom and the cold in the Northern Underworld were on par, Lan Zijin flew on the rooftop, and the assassins behind him were not to be outdone, and chased after him.

I don't know how long it took to chase, Lan Zijin finally lost his strength and fell from the roof into the empty alley. Seeing that the assassin was getting closer and closer, Lan Zijin reluctantly got up and continued to run, and as soon as he ran out of the narrow alley, he crashed into a person's arms.

"Big brother, help, someone is going to kill me." Lan Zijin saw that this person was tall and strong, and he must be a practitioner, so he asked him for help. Seeing this, the Assassin rushed forward, and the man's bare hands were unfathomable, and the Assassin was defeated and fled.

The man helped Lan Zijin up, took off his robe and put it on for her, and said softly, "Girl, it's okay." "Although Lan Zijin has learned kung fu, it can only be regarded as a soldier on paper, this actual combat experience is not at all, at this time her legs are weak, obviously because she was physically exhausted when she ran away just now.

Lan Zijin clenched his fists and said, "I'm fine, thank you for this brother's life-saving grace." "I have a friend's house nearby, why don't you go there first, and I'll send you home early tomorrow morning." Hearing the man say this, Lan Zijin was not polite, thinking that it would not be safe to go back now, so he said, "Then I will trouble you." ”

When they arrived at the mansion that the man said, the two sat down in the hall, the light broke the darkness, and Lan Zijin saw his appearance clearly, with handsome facial features, sharp edges and corners, and his appearance did not lose Nangong's reputation at all, and his temperament was even more elegant. Looking closely, this is really the most handsome man Lan Zijin has ever seen. But she always felt in a trance where she had seen this person, but she couldn't remember. If she had really seen such a beautiful thing, she should have remembered it firmly, and if she didn't remember it, she should have never seen it.

"I don't know why the girl was hunted down? But who did you offend? The man poured a glass of water and put it in front of Lan Zijin and asked. I don't know who is going to take my life. "What do you call that girl?" The man then asked. Lan Zijin took a sip of water and said slowly: "My name is Lan Zijin." ”

"It's Nangong's crown princess. It turns out that it has arrived. Hearing the man say this, Lan Zijin was puzzled: "Do you know me?" Are you an official of the Eastern Country? The man didn't answer, but said, "I'll send someone to send Niangniang back to the post house early tomorrow morning." Lan Zijin smiled and said: "What Niangniang, I'm here, I'm not a princess anymore, otherwise, why would I be hunted down and killed?" ”

"Then who does the Blue Maiden think is chasing you?" The man asked, "Since you are an official of this country, I want you to tell your royal family that they will send someone to pick me up." Otherwise, if the proton died, Dongfang Guo would have nothing to hold Nangong's handle. The man chuckled, this crown princess is not stupid. Miss Lan thinks it was Nangong Guo who sent someone to kill you? Lan Zijin looked desperate and replied, "Otherwise? Being a proton as a crown princess damages their royal face. If I die on Nangong's territory, it will be a breach of my promise. Therefore, in your Eastern Kingdom, the only people who want to kill me are the people of Nangong. The man laughed, looked at Lan Zijin's eyes a little deeper, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, girl have a good rest." With that, he left the inner hall.

Rest? I'm afraid I can't sleep this night. Lan Zijin looked at the teacup in his hand, sighed, and said to himself: "Nangong Yu, is it you who want to kill me?" ”
